$10 Amazon.com gift card

It is Friday and the start of an extended weekend with the upcoming holiday! YAY! We are set for a weekend of fun and hope you are too.  With Friday also comes Fun Fabulous Friday here on The Thrifty Couple.

For those of you that have not yet participated – how does Fun Fabulous Friday work?  Well, at the end of today one of our readers will win a $10 Amazon gift card.  You will need to enter to have a chance to win! You can get two possible entries each today.

Each week, we have had a fun topic for everyone to leave their quick comment/insight on.  It has been so much fun to read the awesome tips and comments that you all have.

This week is going to be – Labor Day Fun tips!  We want to hear any tip that you have on how you celebrate the weekend, i.e. BBQ’s, hikes, camping, local festivities, etc. It does not need to be a thrifty tip – but if you have one to share, please include it as you know we love those thrifty tips!

Here are the two ways to enter. Make sure to leave a comment for each one as each one is a separate entry.

  1. This is the “mandatory” entry.  We love hearing from each of you and your tips.  So, this week we want to know your tips on anything concerning Labor Day Fun.
  2. For your next entry, leave a second comment if you are a “liker” of The Thrifty Couple on Facebook.  Its not too late if you’re not a liker yet, just go to our page and click ‘Like’.  We also post extra deals and information on Facebook for our readers that you will not find on the site here.

We will share some of our tips when we make the announcement of the winner tomorrow!

This giveaway is for TODAY – Friday, September 3rd ONLY! It ends at 11:59 MDT tonight! The winner will be announced on Saturday!

While you are at it, don’t forget to enter our other giveaway – FREE GoGurt with a Cool School Kit.

Labor Day fun! A picnic in the back yard. No crowds, a little bonfire (ya, we’re in the boonies, so we can do that), some horseshoes and volleyball, s’mores and hot dogs.

If it rains, we move the party inside!

My Labor Day fun tip would be to have a picnic and one last swim before the beaches and parks close.

We are starting new tradition with 3 other families. Gonna go ‘camping’ in our friends’ yard, tent & all ( Well for the kids that is!)! Potluck bbq, sweets & treats, & of course smores. The adults are spending the night indoors on real beds & no bugs. That’s my kind of camping!
